Java has become an increasingly important computer language system , even in the design of embedded systems. Howe− ver, significant drawbacks exist. Beside the indeterministic timing behavior of many Java platforms, the performance of these plat− forms is still insufficient for many applications. Therefore a detai− led analysis is in order to develop a method for an accurate platform evaluation. Earlier we introduced a performance eva− luation technique [1], which helped give good results for simple platforms, but showed unsatisfying results for advanced Java Runtime Environments (JRE). In this paper we introduce a new technique, which can measurably improve platform evaluation and concomitantly, the accuracy of timing estimations1.
